Trying a WatchGecko mesh on my SPB149 today - this might be the bracelet I’ve been waiting for. Maybe a bit of a big gap at the lugs seen from certain angles, but it’s very comfortable and I think it works really well with the 149’s generally classic look.
Sinn off and sarb on today.
After dithering over the green ones on SC, and them selling before I decided to go for it, I made the rash decision to buy new.
I know these are silly money, but, this feels well put together and I can almost justify the price to myself.
I have chosen the black dial version, I already have a green dial Sumo. Bracelet straight off, and put a MM300 strap on in its place. I have to say I am very impressed with how it looks and wears. I wish I had the cash to get the SLA033!
As far as my poor old eyes can tell, everything just about lines up - I am not going to be looking for issues just in case.
Another one to show how the green can change from almost black to this hastily taken pic (which is obviously inside, in the natural sunlight its pretty impressive).
The Sumo is what got me into Seiko's back in 2010, I've owned 4 since. This iteration (although not one for the purists with the ps/x) is by far the best. Timekeeping is within a couple of seconds a day, I prefer the bezel font and the sapphire is a big improvement.
Paired with the strapcode jubilee and mm clasp (which some don't like either), it's nigh on perfect, for a Sumo :-)
Here's another oldie and quite a rare model.
Seiko Silver Wave Z from Decemeber '78.
Should have dusted it.
Cheers,
Neil.
Bought from Kippax on Thursday night. It is absolutely magnificent. Quick wrist shot before it goes to a friend next week
Alignment also perfect

1972 (I think) Pogue although purchased in 1974 by my father. A few marks and scratched crystal but totally original as far as I know.
Still runs nicely and barely if ever been serviced.
